The brilliantly funny Tommy Tiernan has announced his return to Northern Ireland with four dates here as part of his new tour.

The Irish comedian will take to the stage at Waterfront Hall , Belfast on January 28 and 29, 2017 and also Millennium Forum, Derry on February 24 and 25.

As if receiving instructions from a strange and distant star, Tommy Tiernan takes to the stage refusing to take anything seriously in his latest show.

The political and the personal are all up for grabs as the only goal of the evening is laughter.

Let our struggles be mocked and our cares abandoned. Allow yourself be guided by a language loving and theatrical performer with a half thought out plan, no professional qualifications and a mouth with a mind of its own.

Can you trust him? To be silly, yes. To behave, no. Like a bus conductor standing in front of an orchestra with a spoon in one hand and air horn in the other what could possibly go wrong!?

Tickets for TOMMY TIERNAN at the Waterfront & Millennium Forum go sale Monday 14 November at 9am and will be available from Ticketmaster.
